I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for the boldness to speak the truth to power in the right moment, and the discernment and ears to hear God so we recognize that moment when it arrives.
Reading Time: 5 minutes

The proposals rising out of Washington D.C. this month, from making D.C. the nation’s 51st state to expanding the Supreme Court, have awoken Christians to the fact that the state of our nation becomes more grave every week.

But what is the solution?

Joseph, Daniel and Esther

When I worked as a staffer for a member of Congress on Capitol Hill, a young woman in our office had a verse pinned to the corkboard at her desk. It came from Esther 4:14, where Esther is challenged to use her newfound position of influence for good, to speak to the king and save her people: “…who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

Esther’s story was that of God’s chosen, placed in proximity to power so she could deliver a timely message and save an entire people. Now, for many Christians called to work on Capitol Hill, that is their story as well.

Of course, widespread repentance is the ideal way to save the nation and reform the government. However, in dark times when the people of God are under duress, the Biblical example for government intervention has been a bold Kingdom Ambassador in the right place at the right time.

Remember Joseph, who saved an entire nation from starvation, or Esther, who saved the Jewish people from execution, and even Daniel, who gave a prophetic interpretation that caused a godless king to fall to his knees and worship the Lord.

It turns out a few hundred Christian staffers scattered throughout Congress are often the last line of defense our nation has against the most radical proposals coming out of Washington in these difficult days.

They are God’s secret weapons. My digging found they desperately need the spiritual backup of the intercessory community.

Insider Intercessory Intelligence

I received an urgent request for prayer this week from a source on Capitol Hill who works and interacts daily with one of the most prominent members of Congress. My source is trusted and is committed to seeing the Kingdom of God influence our nation for the better. Some speculate his boss may run for president in the not too distant future.

Now, lest you think Congressional staff only get coffee and push papers, think again. Capitol Hill staffers have wide discretion in how legislation is written and how members focus their energy. They often understand the issues better than the members for whom they work.

“Of course it depends on the office, but fundamentally most members just don’t have the time to keep up with the vast majority of what’s happening on the Hill,” my source said. “So they pretty much only take the word of their staff in terms of what is in this bill and how should we be thinking about it.”

“Staff are crafting these bills from basically nothing and then pitching them to their bosses, and a lot of times their bosses will just grab them,” he added.

With that influence, there are many “Esther opportunities” to speak up. However, those moments are so fleeting and potentially risky, that these Kingdom Ambassadors need an infusion of supernatural guidance.

“The stuff that matters the most are these flashpoints,” he said. “I’ve got 30 minutes to say something or not.”

The staffer I spoke with asked for prayers that the Christians on the Hill have “peace and grace to abide, boldness to speak with courage and the wisdom or discernment to know when to say something and when not to.”

“I always think of Daniel as that powerful example because obviously he worked for a pretty evil person, but then there were these moments when he knew this is the time to put my foot down and he did it,” my source said. “That kind of discernment…you just have to be able to hear God.”

He also said there has been a recent stirring among many of the believers on the Hill to gather and pray. Recently, two small groups have blossomed. They pray, worship and study the Bible together and have grown to several dozen attendees.

“I’ve just seen intercession, like people prayer walking in the Rotunda or across the Capitol or prayer nights springing up and different staffers jumping in on that,” he said. “Among the real deep genuine believers, I see God stirring faith and a heart to pray in a really fresh new way…”His last request was that the intercessors pray Christians on the Hill “be known by our love.”

“My goodness, that would be huge,” he said. “It is cutthroat…and if you really love people, it is wild to people in that context.”

So it seems in this time of deep spiritual battle, God has hidden his secret weapons all around Washington, D.C., and they need our help.

The Call to Prayer

Pray for the Esthers, Daniels, and Josephs God has placed in Washington, D.C. and specifically on Capitol Hill. Pray that they can stand in courage at the right time to interject the truth of God at the risk of their own career and that the gatherings of believers on Capitol Hill grow and are strengthened.

Pray most of all, though, for those who have been prepared for “such a time as this.”

It seems we need them now as much as ever before.

With this mind, let’s unite behind this threefold prayer strategy:

Pray for these appointed ones to have…

  1. Boldness to speak the truth to power in the right moment, and the discernment and ears to hear God so they recognize that moment when it arrives.
  2. Protection from spiritual attack, anxiety, and from the manipulative and political spirits that infect D.C.. Pray that the staff would have FAITH in God’s goodness, His faithfulness, and encouragement that they are making a difference.
  3. Pray also that our leaders ears’ would be tuned to hear the truth of God and block out the deception of the enemy so our land can live in peace and righteousness.

Verses to press into as you pray on this issue:

“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)

The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.” (Prv 28:1)

“Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.” (Ps 17:7)

Will you commit to pray for God’s secret weapons in Washington, D.C.? Share this need with your friends.

Very encouraging article! So good to know we are not alone in the battle for righteousness and freedom in our country, in our world!

Thank you IFA and Casey Harper for this article of information and confirmation. I have wondered if there were staffers (and others) who might be committed, who might be standing strong and be able to know each other and join together. Thank God that this is happening and I am praying that He is guiding, sustaining, uplifting and providing encouragement through their being able to join together and that He provides strength, faith and boldness and furthers their mission.

It was well known that there were many Bible study and Prayer groups in the Trump administration and greatly because there was encouragement and participation from the top of many agencies and from the White House. It is so heartening to know that some; hopefully many are continuing and sustaining. May God use this and these believers to strengthen and further his plan and his purpose. May they be a wall and a hedge against forces of evil in the administration and in the houses of government. May their numbers multiply and grow stronger and may they be used and emboldened by the Holy Spirit.

Precious Father in heaven we love You. Thank You for our beautiful brothers and sisters in Christ who work in D.C. According to Your Word, Please teach their hands to war and their fingers to fight. Teach them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Enlarge and order their steps and set them up upon a rock of high places. Uphold them, and lift up their hands above their enemies. May their shields of faith repel all witchcraft and every fiery dart from the enemy. May every wicked word spoken against them fall to the ground and disintegrate into nothing, in the name of Jesus Christ! Make their opposition fall into confusion, disarray, and incompetence. May every wicked plan drawn up against your children be burned out by the fire from Your altar.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

I am sooooo happy to read this article. I had never given any thought to the number or the influence of the staffers. How silly! I will gladly join this prayer effort to hold them up before the throne of God and to invoke God’s guidance and protection for them. I’m printing this piece for my “prayer pile,” all the things I try to pray for every day.
I am thinking, too, that we should be praying for the residents of the district. Their lives are affected daily by the drama on the Hill.
I am truly, profoundly grateful to be part of IFA. It keeps opening my eyes! and my heart!

What a great and timely article! I get so many emails in my feed each day, but took the time to read this one. I just so happens that yesterday I got a phone call from a staffer of one of our North Carolina representatives, and we had a wonderful conversation on the phone. She called me personally to assure me that this particular rep was fully-supporting HB 558 and wanted me to know that. I was so moved that she called, and then realized that we DO have very real people in leadership positions in our nation, and they are standing for strong, godly, American values, and yes, they need our prayers! Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for this post. I have been praying for people of the faith with a platform to speak. And to speak out boldly with the truth, godly truth. Not to fear men but to fear God. Also, for their protection. This is a confirmation.
Not only on Capitol Hill but where ever is needed in our cities.

Father God, please lift up these intercessors in D.C. that their prayers may be heard. May the prayers of those in this post give them extra strength and peace. You know my heart Lord and that I stand with all these brothers and sisters in Christ, even though I do not have the words to adequately express myself. In Jesus name I pray…

First of all, I would ask that we lift Casey Harper up to the Lord.
Without this information that he has provided, I certainly would not have known
about the effectiveness of the staffers. I appreciate very much having this information.
Jesus is the Author of our faith, and without faith we cannot please God.
Faith is the assurance, the confirmation and the title deed to what we hope for.
I pray that the Lord will keep these vital workers in our Capital solid in their faith.
I will gladly lift up these staffers in prayer more specifically. I pray that
in all their ways they will acknowledge God first and always.
In a professional environment such as this in which they are working,
that is one of the greatest challenges they face.
Lord, I pray in agreement with your faithful ones that these treasures you have
placed in this vital area of our government will have the wisdom they need to serve
You as they fearfully and reverently worship You.
In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Wonderful article. It is a great refreshment to learn there are Christian staffers who may be in a position to influence their congressmen. But I am cognizant about the fact that they are operating in a dark atmosphere at the Capitol. So glad they get together for Bible study, fellowship and prayer! This unity adds power to their presence. It is an honor to hold them up and pray over them.

Heavenly Father, thank you for these Christians working behind the scenes. Please protect them, give them increased faith, wisdom, discernment, peace, love, courage, and unity. I pray the blood of Jesus over them and ask that you would anoint them with Your power. May they hear Your voice in order to know when and how to take action. Thank you, Holy One, for your great love and compassion for people. In Jesus Name, amen.

A timely prayer. I have been praying for the 5 that I believe walked away from their appointed tasks, Pence, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavenaugh and Barrett. Esther has been on my mind from the beginning. Also, I prayer walked around the Capitol, Supreme Court and White House when Obama was there. I had an assurance that our LORD knew every whisper and thought, that nothing is hidden from HIM. I have despaired of our GOD even being allowed in. This article is so wonderful, thank you. Those Christians there contains many Esthers and Gideons although I am sure they don’t feel that way.

Heavenly Father, grant them the courage to remain steadfast, to love recklessly as you love us, and to speak truth to power. May they inspire our elected officials to hear Your Word in their hearts and bring about a national revival and repentance. Let your love be their guide. Amen

I declare and decree that Christian workers in DC are and will continue to have the Ester, Daniel and Joseph anointings to especially flow in decernment and holy ghost power at the God ordained times in Jesus name. I speak encouragement and protection for these righteous ones and keep them hidden when they need to be hidden and to shine when there destiny time arrives. DC the district of Christ and Jesus is Lord over DC. I decree signs wonders and miracles as needed to increase and draw more people to salvation in Jesus name. I decree unGodly bills are null and void and will not be pushed through.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray again for our nation. May You move good people of Your choosing into places and positions where they can make the most difference in this nation and world for You. Indeed, Lord, I pray You help each and every one of us to find the station You would have for us that we may perform tasks in Your service. Let us all pray and strive to make a difference every day. Lord may we stand firmly on Your side of the line in the issues of the day, and push back against the evil forces that have swept across our nation and, indeed, the whole world. Lord, let the wicked manipulators hiding in the shadows be pulled into the light and exposed, and may the house of cards of the evil usurpers be toppled. Lord I pray Your light may shine across this land and banish the dark powers that infect us. Bless those who fight the good fight every day, in positions great and small, that they, and indeed all of us, may persevere against this tide of evil. In Jesus precious name I pray O’ Lord, Amen.

Thanks Casey for the great article!!! I felt beaten down and bombarded by all the enemy attacks on our country and am sorry to admit my desire to pray weakening. However after reading this article I am full of hope and enthusiasm once again to pray.
I am reminded of the time during 9-11 of the plane that was hijacked and a group of Americans banded together and stormed the cockpit of the plane and stopped it from crashing into its destination. Their rally cry was: LET’S ROLL!!! Okay intercessors LET’S ROLL!!! and storm this country with prayer especially those strategic secret weapons in DC. We are the remnant!!!!!

I agree with all the prayers below. When God is with us, who can be against us? The outward world may even seem to win at times, but we know we are sojourners in a foreign land. But, God we cannot help others that need it if we are bound. Please Lord unbind all your people and allow them to speak truth wherever they are without Satan himself attacking them. Just as you were with the armies of Israel and Judah. It doesn’t matter if we are in the minority, what matters is the hearts of those who serve you! I ask Lord, that these secret warriors have your strength to withstand any attacks of the enemy! We know he is cunning and sly, keep your people with what they need every step of the way! Bring your word to their minds, and I ask that You would protect their Godly meetings! Evil is in our world, but we are not of the world! Praise God!! You love to show Your glory when things look impossible.

I thank You and praise You Lord that You do have Your people in position on the hill. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Assure them of the power at work in them to stand for truth, justice and righteousness. Increase their confidence in You. Let them listen as You instruct them and obey. Let them be known by their love. May they shine brightly because Your face and Your Hand is on them and be strong because Your Spirit is in them. Use them. Unite them. May they honor You in everything they do and say. I bless them. Thank You for calling them and using them to serve. I bless You Lord, my God, Creator and ruler of all. Be glorified in our nation. We look to You. We are Your people called by Your Name. Thank You Jesus!!! Amen and Amen!

I completely support and agree with this article and will pray in agreement with all that was said.
Jesus was the most attractive person on the planet because of the power of His LOVE. His love is the mighty magnet of God. Yet He was also able to cut to the chase and speak the difficult words at the right time in love that cut to the heart of the matters.
What a mighty Savior. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities… the weapons of our warfare are mighty to pull down strongholds , taking every THOUGHT captive and bringing it into the OBEDIENCE of Christ.

Father, I confess also that many times I will think of myself as the only one standing in the gap, but am often humbled to know this is the lie of the enemy. We declare that the zeal of the LORD “Arise , shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises, upon you and his glory appears over you”. You are the God who goes ahead and prepares the way for those you have been called for ‘such a time as this”. May all who have been called to “stand in the gap” “give yourself no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.” May those who hear what the Spirit is speaking to the CHURCH turn, repent and be filled with the Zeal of the LORD. Show us Your Glory that the World will know Jesus is LORD over all.

back to Jerusalem, where Absalom had overthrown his Father David, to become Absalom’s counselor and refute Ahithophel’s evil counsel. Ahithophel was David’s advisor who joined Absalom’s conspiracy.

Thank you Lord Jesus. You always have a remnant who remain faithful to you! I thank you for these people in Washington that you have placed there for such a time as this. Please undergird them with faith and courage to do Your bidding. This is such a blessing. The enemy is working overtime, as he knows that his time is short. I bind the spirits of anger, discord, and chaos in our capitol, and in so many of our city. I loose a spirit of boldness, integrity, and courage to do the right thing. Please use Your remnant in D.C. in a powerful way. Let mercy triumph over judgement, and please, revive our nation. In Jesus’ name I pray.

Praise God for His secret weapons! May they focus their energy like lazers at strategic issues, Lord Anoint them with fresh oil, eyes to see, ears to hear, the boldness to stand up and speak truth to power. Lord, we pray specific intercessors would back them up! Rees Howells, a British intercessor was trained by God to hear his voice, and be totally obediant. In this way, he and his Bible School students were instrumental in saving the World during the air battle for Britan. He wrote in his diary that Hitler would be turned back, before it happened! Churchill was the politician who took a righteous stand, but it was Rees Howells and his intercessors who focused the light of prayer power against the nazis and changed the course of History. May it happen again Lord. Turn back the anti-Christ, Globalist spirit and all the devil’s plans for America in Jesus’s Name!

I realize the importance of this message in the following statements. “There has been a recent stirring among many of the believers on the Hill, they pray, worship and study the Bible. The number has grown to several dozen attendees.”

Dear Heaven Father, I believe this is a pivotal time. he is sowing seeds of anger but You are the God of Exceeding Joy. he is sowing seeds of discord but You are the God of Peace. he is hatred, You are Love. I pray this group is supernaturally grown in number. I don’t know what that looks like but You do. I pray they are supernaturally guarded and that their reputation humbles the most rebellious. Father, You said to Jeremiah, “See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.” As these individuals gather to praise Jesus Christ and to ask Your Favor, I pray You would speak to them just as clearly. I ask this in Your Name Father, in the Names of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen

I Truly appreciate this article,as an everyday person I don’t have the
greatest understanding of the everyday workings that take place in D.C.
I love that you have open our eyes to have better God given insight as
how to pray for those who are Placed there by Our Father. It also gives
me great encouragement to think of Ester, Joseph,Daniel all of Gods
Wonderful servants & great men & women of God.How their live’s turned Nations to where the God of Heaven wanted them to go.

It makes me feel an excitement and an anticipation to Watch & see
the Goodness of God heartily at work through all those He is bringing
for such a time as this. It is an honor to lift them up for Christ to lead
them to accomplish His Good will and purposes.

I love the three praying points also & will gladly pray them along with
whatever the Holy Spirit leads to pray as well. The greatness & the
Goodness & the Power of God be on full display as we watch how He
will Wonderfully answer in His Good Timing.

“Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.”
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/1/1ki.19.18.kjv

Like Elijah, it’s easy for me to feel as if there are only a few faithful Christians remaining – and that Satan has the government by the throat! It’s encouraging to be reminded that the Lord has planted Christians in strategic places to fulfill His will. My prayer, “Father, give Christians the opportunity and courage to stand up for righteous decisions and the wisdom to know what to say and when to say it. Give them a love for their enemies in a time when division is so rampant. We pray that You would change the hearts of those who would votes for evil bills. Raise up more Godly leaders who would lead our country back to You. We ask this in the blessed name of Jesus. Amen.”

Father God I thank You that we are Your end time battle plan🙌🙌Father You have called each one of us, Your children for “such a time as this”, thank you for this timely message and for those reading it.Thank you for the insiders on Capital Hill and their willingness to be obedient to You and spread the word to Your network of prayer warriors that are on the back lines. Lord we lift our brothers and sisters to You, give them a Spirit of discernment as they make connections with Godly peers and critical decisions for the people they serve, Lord May they be stealth and under the radar, covered by providence as they continue their work to bring Your Kingdom to fruition in the seat of government here in the nation that You birthed for Your purpose, May we, the intercessors be faithful to remember them in prayer as we know that all authority has been given to us, that it is the prayer of Your people that moves Your hand. Father we thank You and praise You that You have promised never to leave or forsake us, so we invite You into every nook and cranny of our political arena, and we ask You to break the chains that bind minds and close the eyes of those in ignorance to the enemy’s plan of destruction for or country. And for those who’s hearts are unable to be turned Father we ask for their plan to turn back on themselves. Father protect Your people in D.C., surround them with Your warring angels and bring them peace in the daily storm. Strengthen them to be Bold in their faith and give them endurance to run their race for Your glory and the prosperity of this nation. It’s in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus we pray🙌🙌🙏🙏

    I pray in agreement! God is working even when we can’t see it. We lift up those who are on their knees praying for the wisdom and strength to do what Father would have them do – to speak clarity and foresight and unity into the works they do. Father send your angels to protect them – guard them day and night. Give them courage to say what needs to be said but with love and truth and gentleness. Armor them up each and every day as they battle for what this country was founded on. We thank you for all those and ask that You continue to enlarge the group. Move in the hearts of more to turn the direction of this country. We thank You for those who are in position to be positive influences. They are in that place because You have called them there. We break the darkness over this country – the hate, division, anger, oppression, and more – over this country in the name of Yeshua. Break it in the name of Yeshua! In His mighty Name, Amen.

I pray that God will raise up as many bold men and women teachers and way leaders to remind the designated messengers of:

2 Timothy 1:7For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but if power and love and a strong mind.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises against you Thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord; and their righteousness is of me sauté the Lord.

It’s funny but not funny that the youth, I am speaking from my own experience with young adults run on the fly An example of this would be their use of their debit cards. They don’t keep the receipts and don’t write into their checkbooks, so they don’t know what is pending and how to project their spending habits, against the incoming paychecks and the outgoing bills by check not cleared yet. I still keep track of my checkbook, write down on my calendar when the bills are due and how much I can spend is a bonus for me! It is great to have disciplined leaders that are behind the scenes writing these bills. The leaders that were voted in have to step up and do the homework and not take the papers and run on the fly, not fully understanding what is in front of them. I want to see righteous and holy decisions. Can you do that?

Very insightful article. Thank you for penning the words and opening up our eyes to the ‘inside’ of D.C. Praying for those Esthers, Daniels and Josephs within Capitol Hill to arise. Father God, please strengthen their minds, their voice, their hands to ‘speak boldly, timely, and grant them supernatural favor.’

We forget God has His people in high places. We must remember to pray for them as they intercede. I commit to praying for them. Forgive me Father for my failure to remember my Brothers and Sisters working in government.

    The responses from officials I contact reveal their spiritual state. I rejoice over those who have a relationship with the Lord and pray special protection and blessings on them while praying for undetermined ones and others to be used for God’s purposes also.

My prayer partner & I pray daily for y’all, especially for the points on IFA. My favorite verse is Joshua 1:9 Be strong & courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
